These Legal Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles, except to the extent that mandatory provisions of applicable US federal or state consumer protection law provide you with greater protection, in which case such provisions shall apply to that extent only.
To the extent that any dispute must be resolved in a court (see Section 16), you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, provided that nothing herein prevents you from bringing a claim in the courts of your state of residence to enforce mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable US law.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Legal Terms or the Services (each a ‘Dispute’), the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration or litigation. Informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other at hello@urnstudios.com.
Binding Arbitration
If informal negotiations fail, any Dispute (except those listed under ‘Exceptions’ below) shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in force, which are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The seat of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom, with hearings conducted remotely by videoconference unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The applicable substantive law shall be the laws of England and Wales, subject to mandatory US consumer protection provisions as described in Section 15.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
YOU AND URN STUDIOS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Exceptions to Arbitration
The following Disputes are not subject to the arbitration provisions above:
- • any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any intellectual property rights of either party;
- • any Dispute related to or arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and
- • any claim for injunctive or other equitable relief.
If this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable or illegal, the parties agree to resolve the relevant Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 15, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction in such court.
Time Limitation on Claims
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Legal Terms or use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it will be permanently barred.
